When Steward Zhou uttered the word "secret," Shen Yunsheng immediately became alert and quickly turned his gaze to Steward Zhou. "Brother Zhou, if it's a secret, you shouldn't have told me."
"Young Master, the secret I'm about to tell you is closely related to you!" Steward Zhou explained solemnly.
“Brother Zhou, please continue.” Shen Yunsheng looked at Steward Zhou encouragingly, signaling him to continue telling the secret.
Manager Zhou became even more excited after receiving confirmation: "These past few days, while sorting through past records, I inadvertently discovered that Granny Yang deposited a huge sum of money more than forty years ago, amounting to five thousand taels. This amount is simply an astronomical figure for an ordinary person. I suspect that Granny Yang's money is illegal income. If needed, I can help you investigate her."
Shen Yunsheng frowned and fell into deep thought. Granny Yang had always come from an ordinary family with no powerful background and had never heard of any opportunity to make a fortune.
Therefore, the source of her huge sum of money is truly puzzling.
Manager Zhou nodded thoughtfully, various possibilities flashing through his mind.
"Could it be that she found a treasure or received a gift from a benefactor? Or perhaps she did something shady to earn this money?"
Manager Zhou muttered to himself.
Shen Yunsheng didn't believe that Granny Yang would meet any benefactor. After thinking for a while, she said to Steward Zhou, "Brother Zhou, in any case, the origin of this money deserves our in-depth investigation."
Manager Zhou seemed to remember something and added, "I checked the deposit date and the basic information of her family members, and I was surprised to find that the time she deposited the money was the same time your father-in-law was born. Is it possible that your father-in-law is not her biological child? If he were, how could she bear to hurt him?"
Manager Zhou's words were like a wake-up call. Shen Yunsheng felt that his analysis was very reasonable. She had heard her mother-in-law say that the Xiao family had settled in Dahe Village when her father-in-law was born.
Based on this timeline, it's entirely possible. It's just a pity that there's no high-tech equipment in this era; otherwise, she could have secretly done a DNA test for her father-in-law.
Steward Zhou smiled and suggested, "Young master, I think you should tell your husband to help investigate Granny Yang."
Shen Yunsheng frowned slightly. If his father-in-law wasn't Yang Pozi's child, then who were his biological parents?
"Brother Zhou, thank you for telling me this clue. I'll tell him when I get home today."
Steward Zhou had long planned to tell Shen Yunsheng about this matter, even if she wasn't his new master, he would still inform her.
Heda Money Shop Study
Ye Shi'an handed over the refined salt and the refining formula to Ye Jiang, asking him to arrange for a reliable person to deliver it to Kyoto. In addition, he also wrote a letter to his grandson.
Ye Jiang knew the importance of this matter. He carefully put away the refined salt and the secret recipe, and then saw Ye Shi'an out of the study.
On the other side, Shen Yunsheng and Steward Zhou had almost finished their discussion. She directly gave Steward Zhou the scar removal cream and asked him to sell it to Miss Zhang. The price of a 50-gram box of scar removal cream was 1680 taels, and 30 grams was 998 taels. It was not cost-effective to sell too much blood. She could not sell blood often. Anyway, Miss Zhang had money, so she would sell the 50-gram bottle to her.
When she saw her grandfather come to the flower hall, she stood up with a smile.
"Grandpa, I want to go to the county town to talk to Magistrate Shen about something."
"I'll go with you."
Ye Shi'an responded and left Heda Money Exchange with his granddaughter.
In less than an hour, Shen Yunsheng arrived at the county government office. As soon as she dismounted, she hurried toward Shen Qingchi. When Shen Yunsheng saw Shen Qingchi, she didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Your Excellency, I have decided to donate the electric vehicle to His Majesty! I would appreciate it if you could arrange for someone to teach me how to drive it."
Shen Qingchi looked at her in surprise, "Why so suddenly? Didn't you refuse to sell to Chu Yunfan before?"
Shen Yunsheng frowned and said, "Alas! It is no crime for a common man to possess a treasure. My carriage is too conspicuous. People are watching it every day. I might as well give it to the current emperor as a war chariot."
Shen Qingchi understood Shen Yunsheng's concerns. This electric car was indeed a good thing, and His Majesty would definitely like it.
“Madam Chen, since you’ve decided to give away electric bikes, I’ll find a few clever people to learn how to drive them from you.”
Shen Yunsheng nodded in agreement. She decided to go home that evening, so she could make the most of that time to teach everyone how to drive electric cars. After all, it might be a new skill for them, requiring some time and guidance to master.
Shen Qingchi immediately took action. After greeting Shen Yunsheng, he quickly left the scene and began to arrange related matters.
Ye Shi'an was still debating whether or not to tell his granddaughter about Shen Qingchi.
"Grandpa! Is something on your mind?" Shen Yunsheng asked gently when he saw his grandfather looking worried.
Grandpa had been distracted ever since they left Heda Money Exchange.
After much deliberation, Ye Shi'an finally decided to tell his granddaughter.
He appointed Shen Qingchi as the magistrate of Qinghe County mainly because Qinghe County was too poor, and he wanted Shen Qingchi to change the poor situation of Qinghe County.
"Oh! Actually, Shen Qingchi is one of my men. Both his character and his talent are very suitable for him to serve as an official in the imperial court!"
Shen Yunsheng was quite surprised by her grandfather's words. She hadn't expected that Shen Qingchi was actually one of her grandfather's people, and that her grandfather had such a high opinion of him.
"Grandpa, you're amazing! You have people everywhere." Shen Yunsheng smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Fortunately, the Divine Dragon Palace is a property of the Tantai family; otherwise, his emperor brother would have had another headache.
